years past a road along the east

men of the Southern Pacific railway sys-
tenn still continues. While passenger trains
leave on time, no freight trains have de-
parted from the depot since the strike com
menced yesterday. The officials of the
road have closed the shops and freight office
at this point, and have also closed the large
shops at Harrisburg, six miles below the
Houston and Buffalo bayou The move
ment on the part of the railroad company
has thrown 400 men out of employment
The officials say they will not resume work
again until the strike ends A committee
of citizens went to the striking switchmen

lieved that all the yardmen in Houston are

Of Mrs Potter's acting. As it stands, how

patronage is not good. Mrs. Potter should
take hint from her English rival, and
engage leading man like Charles Coghlan,

popular plays, The Wifes Peril, Lady

they are incidentally superior to the light

BLAKELY HALL,

Every morning there drives up to a
square brown building near the City Hall a
big van of about the same color as the build
ing curious and not progressing crowd
disembark from il and is escorted up stairs
TO one Of the three court rooms where sit the
Judges of General Sessions. They are
locked up in apartments opening into the
court rooms The scene in one of these will
answer as a description of all the rest aud
illustrate how the busiest and most import
ant criminal courts of the metropolis are
run The court rooms are dingy and crude
attempts at better ventilation for them have
not proven successful. The halls leading to
them are crowded with a motley throng.
You will usually fix among them at least
one man with black eye and a bandaged
head and a dejected-looking woman with
puny baby in her arms Nearly every day
brings a detachment of solemn China
men, accompanied by an inter-
prefer of their own race, who looks
prosperous and wise at body of Italians
for whom the translating is done by
doughty court interpreter who spends his
leisure moments i'll porting over a pocket
dictionary. Al II o'clock one OF the numer-
GUS court officials, who all look stern and
rather suspicious OF their fellow-men,
shouts Hats Off ~ and thus announces the
coming of the Judge. The crier opens the
court with the usually unintelligible man
ner affected by his kind, and then the grind
begins. There are perhaps twenty-five
cases to be disposed of in each Of the three
courts of General Sessions of the city, and
there is little time for superiuous formalitv.
Lawyers press forward TO lean over the rail
ing, behind which the District Attorney or
one Of his assistants sits and other counsel
ors approach the bench to confer with the
Judge Sometimes the buzzing of CONVEX
sation between lawyers and clients becomes
SO loud that stern court official has to rap
for order. The clerk, who has learned by
long practice the art of keeping the wheels
of the courts machinery moving rapidly,
seizes a large bundle of indictments and calls
out the names of the prisoners. They are
frequently brought i'll two at a time 1t

and holding so large, influential and well
satisfied patronage. We feel that we tried
hard to deserve what we got We believe
our many patrons will gladly yield us credit
for what we have achieved Like Oliver

are yet unsupplied. There are many yet
only partially supplied. We await all these.
Our stock of Clothing, Overcoats and Fur

standing the heavy inroads made upon it.
We try TO keep everything replenished and
up to the mark. Our Overcoat counters
have been struck heavy, but there are
plenty left. You can never get enough of
a good thing. Our patrons appreciate this,
for we have been careful to provide only
such clothing as would be credit to seller
and buyer Our prices are low and there
isn't room for any complaint that we can
see. The Big Golden Arm beckons ALL

Judge Adams Hears a Numb Der OF
Cases in Chambers.
Judge Adams sat in chambers yesterday
morning to hear the arguments on certain
cases set for hearing at that time. The
most important case was that of E.
NJ. Blount, ct al, VS.. the Road
Commissioners of Mcintosh county. The
plaintiffs are the pilots of Darien
who claim exemption from road la
Dor They argue that the duties of their
business are incompatible with the law, and
that they are therefore exempt. The Road
Commissioners cite a recent act of the Leg
stature which exempts no one except cler-
gvmen. Judge Adams heard the argu-
ments by Lester and Ravenel for the
plaintiffs, and duBignon and Frazer for
the defendants, and reserved his decision.
The argument was heard in the case of
Lucretia Jones, ct al, VS.. Lucinda Jones ct
al, and the deci ion reserved.
The case of the Ocean Steamship Compa-
ny vs. the Mayor and Aldermen of the City
of Savannah, was set for Saturday next.

Barrett's circus will be in town Wednes-
day. The veteran Snowman, not content
with the ordinary arenic and geological
attractions, has turned his attention to the
human phenomenon business. His latest
acquisition in the latter line is the dog faced
Russian boy, "Jo-Jo." Aside from his Curl
osities and phenomenal attractions in the
geological line, Barrett has always had
penchant for probably the
most popular feature of the circus-and this
season he has carried out his pet idea by
securing a greater number than ever of
riders. Prominent among the lady riders Is
the dashing and bewitching Viola Rivers,
an American production, some OF the other
equestrienne stars are Mile. REM, Ger
man importation, Pauline Dumont, Nine,
Rockwell. the famous six-horse rider, and
the Misses Daisy Ramsdell, Mollie Stokes,
Josie Richards and Susie Wilson. The list
of male riders includes James Leon, the
recognized champion, Clarence Robinson,
Mons. Eugene Jerome, Bob Whitaker, and
Messrs. George Showers, Billy Davenport,
Charley Lawrence and John McGrdw.
The circus will be on the regular circus
grounds, south of Anderson street.
